  7. LOVE this! didn't know there was a dragon on the cricut. need to get that cart, i'm helping someone plan a dragon themed yakudoshi in a couple months!

    as for the money box on my blog, people in Hawaii usually have a $$ box during 1st birthday parties so the parents can't start saving for the child's college fund. :)
